Thanks Enzie, Sharon and Julie -I appreciate all advice.
Sharon, it didn't come as a surprise to me about the tracing you see --as that is exactly what I did. I blew up the photo, traced it onto the canvas. That is what you are seeing. Obviously you still see a drawing problem. I think personally the drawing was correct. The loss comes when I started the value study on canvas. You know yourself, the slightest slip of the brush and wa-la, that eye is different than the other or the lips are too fat or curvy. I agree I need more practice drawing. It''s beginning to feel like I indeed began my portrait career too soon as I have sold portraits for the past 7 years at least. This is the first time that I have had one to torture me so.
Thanks again, still dealing with un-usable left arm and yes I am right handed but the slightest twitch of the neck or movement of the left arm sends excruciating pain, so---still no progress on the painting.
